I tried to make the "Make tutorial" document on a 1.0R (i.e., 1.0 final
release as opposed to NetBSD-current) system and ran into the following:
netbsd4me:1:126 % pwd
/usr/share/doc/psd/12.make
netbsd4me:1:127 % make
groff -M/usr/share/tmac -ms -Tps tutorial.ms > tutorial.ps

Anyone know what the "unrecognised drawing command `s'" errors are caused by?
This paper tries to put little sidebar "NOTE" comments into the left margin,
and I'm wondering if these errors are related to that. When run to the
terminal (i.e., "nroff" mode) I get an attempted box with NOTE inside, but
it screws up:
great deal more functionality than Make. Throughout the
text, whenever something is mentioned that is an important
difference between PMake and Make (i.e. something that will
cause a makefile to fail if you don't do something about
it), or is simply important, it will be flagged with a lit-
---tle sign in the left margin, like this:
| This tutorial is divided into three main sections corre-
| NOTsponding to basic, intermediate and advanced PMake usage. If
| you already know Make well, you will only need to skim chap-
---ter 2 (there are some aspects of PMake that I consider basic
When I let it create PostScript and print it, I get "NOTE" in a small font
in the left margin, but there's this thin line drawn from the middle of the
space between the "O" and the "T" over to the right into the first few words
of the text directly across from the "NOTE" word. Somehow this doesn't seem
quite right ...
ObHumor: I am trying to print this out for someone I work with who keeps coming
into my office with "make" questions. e.g. "I can't get this to work.
I have 3 double-colon ``clean::'' tags in my Makefile with no targets,
but when I say ``make clean'' it only does the first one instead of
all 3. This happens on both SunOS and Solaris." So I pull over the
test setup and fire up the appropriate "make". Works "right" (i.e.,
the way he wants/expects it to work) every time. I keep saying "Get
a real O/S and a real ``make''" (-:
